Tomb Raider: Gold (1998)

This was a big disappointment. I knew it's gonna be a collection of levels, I just didn't know how not-at-all connected it's gonna be. Level design wasn't particularly good either. In Return to Egypt I found all the secrets in the level BEFORE I was able to figure out where to go next. Levels are also full of enemies, sometimes very unnecessarily so. Pull a lever, enemy, jump up, enemy, every goddamn corner. The second level ends in such an awkward way that I saved the game literally one step away from the end trigger. The game then sent me off to a very distant location (from Egypt to Atlantis), despite me jumping down to a courtyard with a pool mere seconds before. Weird. Last level design "sin" was an overwhelming amount of pure event triggers. It's fine if it's enemies who start running at you, but many times you scout the whole area trying to see what path you're supposed to take not knowing that you have to stand on a specific tile to trigger the door to open. That tile isn't even part of anything or somehow highlighted, you just have to happen to run over it. This is dumb, really dumb. Also: too many boooouldeeers!!! Overall Unfinished Business is really what it says: publisher's business decision that feels really unfinished. Even fans can skip this one.
